OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Uvular squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is usually considered with soft palate tumors as an oropharyngeal cancer subsite. This investigation aims to determine whether the uvula itself is a high-risk subsite in the oropharynx for primary squamous cell carcinomas. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of a large population database. METHODS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiolog...
UNLABELLED OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHOSES: TORS (Trans Oral Robotic Surgery) has been demonstrated to be an acceptable alternative to chemoradiation for the treatment of early stage malignant lesions of the oropharynx, with equivalent tumor control and enhanced functional outcomes. Surgical ablation of tumors of the oropharynx under conditions of limited access, however, creates the need to adapt the ro...
Healthcare associated infection represents a major burden for critically ill patients; a recent point prevalence survey by the Health Protection Agency observed that 23.4% of patients in intensive care units had evidence of a healthcare associated infection.Ventilator associated pneumonia remains the leading cause of nosocomial infection in this population, and, although recent estimates of att...
Introduction: Fishbone is the most common foreign body found in the oropharynx. Conventionally patients with suspected fishbone in the throat would have mirror laryngoscopy followed by lateral soft tissue X-ray to look for the fishbone or observe impacts caused by the fishbone i.e. soft tissue swelling or air in upper esophagus. However, the most common site of fishbone impact is the suprahyoid...
Capnocytophaga organisms are capnophilic, gram-negative bacilli that have been associated with infections deriving from the flora of the oropharynx. We report a case of inguinal adenitis caused by Capnocytophaga species that probably represents sexual transmission of the pathogen.
A 66-year-old man presented with difficulty in breathing and swallowing caused by swelling in his throat. He was aware of this swelling for the last three years but he had avoided referring to a hospital until he started to have serious apnea attacks. Physical examination revealed a large mass in the oropharynx bulging submucosally from the right lateral pharyngeal wall that nearly occluded the...
BACKGROUND Surgery followed by radiotherapy is the standard of care for resectable locally advanced oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We report the treatment outcomes of patients with T3-T4 SCC of the oral cavity treated with chemoradiation, an alternative approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS From a series of 240 patients with stage III-IV carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract who wer...
Hydrofluoroalkane-134a (HFA) beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) was formulated in a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) to deliver a particle size of 1.1 microm compared with 35 microns for currently marketed chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-BDP products. Two phase I single-dose human deposition studies were conducted using technetium 99m-radiolabelled BDP in a press-and-breathe actuator without an add-on spacer...
